.@ORSafeStreets member @Henryz_mom has been placing signs at fatal crash sites to raise awareness of traffic violence. She talked with KGW about the continued and unacceptable crisis on our roads https://t.co/3N9glofVyN

Yesterday I took the time to gather with @thestreettrust and @ORSafeStreets to mark the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

Our crises in our homelessness, traffic and mental health systems are intertwined. We need to act now.

We Can Do Better.

[Michelle DuBarry @DuBarryPie]

Please join us for World Day of Remembrance this Sunday. I'll be speaking along with other @ORSafeStreets members. Details below

Why do some of the most deadly cars on the market receive a 5-star safety rating from @NHTSAgov ?

Take it from me and @jlrhart who lost our kids in crashes: You don't want to join this club. Please sign the petition.

@PBOTinfo @BikePortland @CommMapps @ppbtraffic Thanks for this. But the time has come to take your efforts to a new level. Your current methods are not keeping up w the threats we face.

We must deploy stronger protection of vulnerable people at key locations using concrete jersey barriers, steel bollards, etc...

[ORSafeStreets @ORSafeStreets]

We need road design that prevents speeding, and physical barriers between cars and people @PBOTinfo

[Portland Bureau of Transportation @PBOTinfo]

Four people died on our streets this past weekend. Three died in traffic crashes involving speeding. This can’t continue.

Portland, we mean it when we say it: Slow the flock down. Slow down now. Slow down every day. Slow down every time you drive. @CommMapps @ppbtraffic

[ORSafeStreets @ORSafeStreets]

This is the second person killed at a bus stop this year. Road design includes "little to no shoulder, no buffer between sidewalk and...drivers, and a well-known pattern of dangerous driving."

The driver is in jail but nothing prevents this from happening again. WYD @PBOTinfo ?

[BikePortland @BikePortland]

The victim was Jean Diaz. According to a GoFundMe set up by her family, she was a mother of two young children and worked at the library across from the bus stop https://t.co/aFKEpgekAe

As members of the @justcrossingall we support a right-sized interstate bridge replacement that prioritizes safety, transit, and climate. @OregonDOT wants a massive freeway expansion to accompany the new bridge. Climate leaders don't widen freeways.

[ORSafeStreets @ORSafeStreets]

Many of us have lost loved ones on @OregonDOT roads that have not seen safety updates in decades. We urge Oregon legislators to reject a backroom deal to hand over $1 BILLION of taxpayer funds for a boondoggle freeway expansion with no strings attached.
